Perception of neuroscience nursing osce among undergraduate nursing students

Clinical competence is the crux of Nursing Education. Evaluation of this clinical competence is of paramount importance and provides nursing students the confidence required to practice in real life scenarios. Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is an approach to students’ assessment in which the aspects of clinical competence are evaluated in a comprehensive, consistent and structured manner, with close attention to the objectivity of the process¹. The OSCE was introduced for the first time among III Year Bachelors in nursing students at College of Nursing, Christian Medical College, Vellore. In order to improve further in the conduct of OSCE in future, the faculty of Neuroscience nursing were interested in knowing the perception of nursing students on the Quality of Performance of OSCE. Hence, a retrospective design was utilized to analyze the feedback from 96 students. The overall perception of the students’ feedback was positive and these feedbacks were valuable and helped faculty to further develop and enhance OSCE.
